Think that he is now on the radar after having a bust up, there will be teams jumping on board and putting in a bid now.

Also found something recently that want your opinion own djw.

Tottenham winger Niko Kranjar will interest Lazio, Roma and Juventus in the summer that is according to Kranjar’s agent. The Croat was a regular in the Tottenham starting eleven last season – but this season has found his opportunities more limited largely due to the emergence of Gareth Bale and Steven Pienaar. This season the 26 year old has only started 10 Premier League games. The winger has two years left on his contract and expressed his concern about a lack of first team football and is becoming disheartened by the lack of first-team football this season.

Kranjar turned down a move to German side Werder Bremen in January. However, he may be more interested in a move to one of these Italian giants – especially if Spurs can not give the player assurances about his future.

Kranjar’s agent Adrian Aliaj says “Niko is not happy with the situation at Tottenham at the moment. He wants to play. It is a shame that a man of Niko’s quality is on the bench. He is loyal to the club and he has a contract but it’s difficult for him. Some clubs are interested in Italy are interested in him. Lazio, Roma, Juventus – they are all interested, as well as some teams in Spain and Germany.”

While I think Kranjcar would adapt to Serie A life pretty well, I think Monty would only make a move for him if Menez were to leave. I think Menez has it in him to be a top drawer player- he's one of the most elegant dribblers you'll see. With DDR and Perrotta suspended for the last three games (what a joke by the way), I reckon we'll see a midfield three of Simplicio, Pizarro and Menez. If he does well there, then I reckon he'd stay.

Inter also linked to Cesena's Parolo and Samp's Poli. The former never played in Serie A until this season, and is now in the Italian national team, while the latter is a regular for the under 21s and reminds me a bit of Andrea Pirlo.

More Italianisation from Inter?

Think he'd make a viable choice for rotation but then again it's a first team spot he wants.

DDR Love him!

And yeah the suspensions were just hilarious! A wee sly punch, and a elbow

Is Mexes still at Roma mate?

The way Masiello reacted was way over the top- that's what caused the referee to act. Perrotta shouldn't have been stupid enough to hit him in the back in the first place, but Masiello walked three steps, then went down like a bag of potatoes. In any case, Ibra punched a guy in the ribs and got his 3 game ban cut down to 2, so I'm guessing the same will happen here.

Mexes is still a Roma player, but he's out for the rest of the season, his contract's expiring, and he's said he's leaving. Played his last game for the Giallorossi

The DiBenedettos are the new owners- a family involved in New England Sports Ventures (the ones who own Liverpool). The frontman- Thomas DiBenedetto- has said that he wants the Scudetto next season, and he wants to build a new stadium. So all's goood

Montella's been in charge since Ranieri's departure in February. I'd give him a B. Some good results, some mediocre results. In any case, Ancelotti to Roma in the summer looks all but a done deal; I reckon Monty may be his assistant, before taking over himself in a few years.

I quite like Atalanta- good atmosphere up in Bergamo. One of the best youth academies in the country. Siena have the most picturesque stadium in Italy IMO. Will also be good to see the Tuscan derby with Fiorentina again.

Oh yeah, I was reading today that Di Laurentiis, the Napoli president, wants to spend €30m on the midfield in the summer. Got a sneaky feeling they'll sign Montolivo. In my opinion though, their priority should be another big centre back.

I'm torn on this one...if he were to come, if would cost quite a bit, and Buffon's been troubled by injury recently. Having said that, so has Julio Sergio, while Doni and his concrete boots would be more suited to the SPL. I'd take him for around £15-20m.
